Its vision as provided by its official website ayalafoundation.org is as follows:
“Our vision is to be a leading foundation committed to national development, harnessing corporate social responsibility towards: Developing social technologies, providing better quality of life, facilitating access to knowledge and learning, and instilling pride in being a Filipino”
This just goes to show how the Foundation has dedicated itself to the integral development of the less fortunate but more-than-capable Filipinos.
